Large Venus has been captured through a telescope with a 15 cm diameter lens (changing refraction is nicely visible, perhaps even long crescent arms). Roughly upside down.

Small Venus with horizon is photographed through a 25x100 prism telescope. An unusual tilt is apparent: the crescent is open toward right... Azimuth of the Evening Star was one degree larger than azimuth of Sun. (Yesterday, Jan 10, it was perfectly levelled, Venus being just above Sun.)

Images are taken by Nikon Coolpix 2500 from N. Copernicus Observatory and Planetarium in Brno.

The last image shows radio clock: it reveals, that Exif times as given in the image headers are 2 min 55 s ahead of the Central European time (or 62 min 55 s ahead of the UTC). File times are still 1 h larger.
